Character:

Ikonocles

.

Which event:

In the Old Ways

.

Responsiveness:

There was hardly any waiting at all, it was very clear that Dix was extremely well prepared, and was able to push through scheduling woes even at the cost of his sleep, I don't think there is anything more I could have asked for.

.

Balance:

As is always the case, puzzles meant for five year olds are often extremely challenging during events, and the initial puzzle was not only fair, but allowed really good insight into the characters that were in the event, and was solved in a satisfying manner. The fight was also well balanced, and it was very rewarding to learn the pattern that the boss followed to be able to fight it competently.

.

Storytelling:

It honestly seemed like Dix did way more research than just the character blurb we sent to him. The narrates were very personal and really dug deep into the characters involved. It was extremely satisfying to go through the ruins of the citadel and explore what the failure to defend it meant to Ikonocles in particular, and I think the character as a result is far more well rounded.

.

Fairness:

As stated before, the injury table and the EC were entirely fair in my experience. Failure and downs were punished adequately without thinking that we were going to instantly die every time we messed up, and the fight was fun to learn and master the different mechanics that it had going on.

.

Overall:

Overall this was an immensely satisfying event from both a character and gameplay standpoint, my only complain is that I don't get to do more events with Dix because this one was an extremely enjoyable experience.
